That bass would make a good dog break his leash. One of my favorites!

Hi Greg, this bass is the loudest acoustically that I have ever heard. A very nice example, and the case is in pretty decent shape, too, it was really well cared for. It belonged to a guitar player in Texas. I've had it for 8 years?

I wanted to add that I have 6K in this bass. I appreciate the current offers, but it's priced fairly and no sales tax, so I'm firm on the price. Thanks, Keith

Wow 

That is some eye candy 

Thank you for the great photos

Maple is so nice. I'm surely going to miss this one, but I have a custom (also maple) on the way.

What kind of payment methods do you take? Thanks

I posted a link to this on one of the facebook Alembic groups. Did the buyer see it there?

Congratulations on the sale. As always hoping this was bought by someone to play, not flip.

77-624 will remain in the Club and joyously played as frequently as possible!  I also own 77-623, its medium scale fraternal twin, a delightful instrument, so I couldn't pass this one up!

Thanks Chris. It has a big sound, and the filters on this particular bass are really responsive after RW tweaked it. He replaced an FET, the ribbon harness, jacks, and one trim pot.
